The hardest part of building Finden wasn t what we expected everyone talks about building data pipelines. I didn't think building one was that hard. But building a pipeline that can actually handle messy, complex, high-volume data, while still delivering answers, that was brutal!

When we took @Finden from idea to product, this was our biggest surprise. Scaling pipelines wasn t just an engineering problem, it became the problem.

At least for me, when I buy something, I consider:

1. price in relation to time, how long the product will serve me

2. investment whether buying the product will generate money for me

3. benefit solving a problem, saving time, fulfilling a need

Hello everyone.

I hope I can get some advices here. I am developer, a solo developer. I make my project, snapencode.com. It is a self-host video platform. The idea is you buy license one time, for lifetime. No more monthly pay. You own it.

The building part, is fun for me. I love code. The logic.
